Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

changelog-rewriter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Changelog Rewriter Skill

This skill rewrites changelog entries to contain tone: cheeky, pragmatic, humorous, and narrative-driven. No commit-by-commit archaeology, no corporate sanitization, just honest summaries that explain why something changed.

Core Formatting Rules

Version Header Format

## [X.Y.Z](compare-url) (YYYY-MM-DD) emoji
  • Always include GitHub compare link
  • Always include emoji(s) that match release vibe
  • Date in ISO format: (2026-01-14)

Opening Quote

  • Italicized, sarcastic/humorous summary in blockquote
  • Sets the tone for the release
  • Examples:
    • > _Because even the tiniest version bump deserves a drumroll, or at least a polite cough._
    • > _Ok, I lied._ No pottery. This turned into cleanup, config alignment, and wrestling CI until it stopped freelancing.

Body Structure

For single-fix patches:

  • Quote + narrative paragraph only
  • No bullet lists
  • Example:
## [0.1.4](https://github.com/ChecKMarKDevTools/rai-lint/compare/v0.1.3...v0.1.4) (2026-01-14) 🧹

> _Because even the tiniest version bump deserves a drumroll, or at least a polite cough._

A quick patch to fix the commitlint package version that was apparently auditioning for a game of hide-and-seek. No user-facing changes, just the machinery getting its act together.

For multi-change releases:

  • Quote + optional "Highlights" section + closing paragraph
  • Highlights use bold claims with plain text explanations
  • Example:
## [0.1.3](https://github.com/ChecKMarKDevTools/rai-lint/compare/v0.1.2...v0.1.3) (2026-01-08) 📡📡📡

> _A boring release, in the best possible way:_ this one is about making CI/release automation less fragile and keeping dependencies current.

No user-facing rule behavior changes in either package. If you linted commits yesterday, you're linting commits today — just with fewer ways for the release machinery to hurt itself.

### Highlights

- **Release automation is harder to derail.** Release Please configuration and "single-tag" wiring were fixed so tags/versions line up cleanly across this monorepo instead of drifting into "wait, which package did we publish?" territory.
- **Security + supply chain posture got a tune-up.** The security audit workflow was improved, and the `astral-sh/setup-uv` action was bumped so the Python toolchain setup stays aligned with the ecosystem.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
